Like my copy of <i>Action Comics</i> #425, this everyday life cover really stands out. The two kids outside with a bat and glove in hand, waiting to play ball dates this issue more than the 20-cent cover price or the cover date of October, 1973. If this were drawn today, they would more than likely be overweight, indoors and have video game controllers instead. There are several 9.8 copies for this issue but this one has a cover that is well centered, white pages, and is from a noted pedigree, I had to fight for this one. So far, this appears to be the only certified 9.8 Suscha News example for <i>Action Comics</i>.
